It only took ten minutes to record the video in the laundry room while my daughter was at kindergarten and my three year old son was playing Angry Birds on the Kindle upstairs, ten minutes to find a computer that wasn’t too old to upload such a big file, thirty minutes to upload it because I don’t have compression software, and four hours to edit it on YouTube.

Easy!

My six year old daughter has also expressed interest in making YouTube videos, so we thought we would start with a “story time” theme. We have one almost ready to go, but it needs a little editing. I really need to download some software. Nothing too complicated and free. Free being the operative word.
